•Model name;

•Variable codes for that models required variables;

•Description of the variables.

 

Viewing data

The 'Required variables' dialog is scrollable and resizable, so you can either scroll to view items that do not fit in the dialog, or you can make the dialog bigger.

A standard format 'Print' dialog will open, as shown below, which allows you to select your printer, set printer properties, and print to either a printer or to file.

 

 

Page setup
You can control various aspects of how the required variables data is printed to the page using the 'Page Setup' dialog (pictured below). You will usually want to print column headings, but omit row headings (as these are blank in the dialog) and may want to set margins and chose whether to draw grid-lines or not.

 

 

 

Header and Footer setup
You can also control the information that is displayed in the header and footer of your output, by using the 'Header / footer' dialog, available from the 'File' menu (pictured below).

The AUSRIVAS program will provide you with a default header and footer, so you only need to change settings if you want to alter the default. The settings that AUSRIVAS provides in the header are program name and model name, as shown in the dialog pictured below. The footer contains the date and the page number in the 'Page n of N' format.

 

A sample printed output from the 'Required Variables' dialog is shown below.
